Delivery

David Sauder helped load 12 boxes of Bibles up to take to Skylines. He was more than willing which sure helps plus he is young and has a strong back. Each box weighs 32 pounds, each must be picked up, loaded onto the cart, then handed down and placed into the back of the car. At Skylines while waiting for the 10 boxes to be delivered up front, the 12 were unloaded and hauled into the foyer. Back at Meister's Detrick was cleaning the snow off the loading dock with Jacob, Elden and his new invention. They built this using the fork lift, a pallet and a piece of flat wood, added some cement blocks for weight and it was good to go.This kind of shows how NOT busy the Meister companies are. I'm sure the shoveling would have been done on the dock in less than 1/4 of the time it took to build this. The guys need something to keep them occupied! Phil and David Jacob came up for lunch, ate, then left just as Mark came up for lunch. The frozen taco meat we purchased for the choir lunch 2 weeks ago was pulled out, heated up and made those guys each a nice meal. Not too much meat left, perhaps just a few more tacos.At the farm the middle paddock needs 2 bales, Ribbon's paddock needs a new bale and Mike needed to move the feeder out of the boy's paddock shelter. They were starting to step through and scrape up their back legs again. Mike is going to try to move in bales this afternoon or evening.

A Short Profile Paragraph

I am the 3rd child of my parents in a line-up of 11. I was the oldest girl so grew up the boss of the house. I have 3 brothers and 7 sisters. We grew up on a small farm on Baer Rd which is just on the outskirts of Peoria in a very large house, big enough to hold all 11 of us plus my parents and numerous foster children. My dad, Paul Meister was the owner of Baer Greenhouse on Baer Rd until he sold that and started Meister Brother's, a Heating and Air conditioning business which my husband and I now own and he started Meister Electric which my brother Spark owns today. My mom is Rhoda and was a stay at home mom. That's not to say she didn't work, it is a lot of work raising us and hundreds of fosters children. Mom is a great cook. She always loved horses and passed that love along to me buying our first pony for us when I was 6 years old. Our parents were members in the Apostolic Church, and brought us up to love the Lord and appreciate our church. We all gave our hearts to Jesus, gave our testimony before the congregation and were baptized, me at age 16. I married my husband at the age of 22 in our Peoria church and we have raised 5 children. All of our children also have given their hearts to Jesus and all are now married. We have 11 grandchildren so far. My sister Diane and I started Horsemeister Inc with the purchase Raven. I love this job, enjoy the horses.
